Yet many of us struggle to think of an innovation pioneered by a woman.
We want to thank everyone who participated in Data for Good Exchange 2016: speakers, presenters, panelists, audience, and all the staff and coordinators. Once again we had an amazing array of content, audience interaction in every session, and some engaging and thought-provoking keynotes.
